It's been awhile, but I occasionally lurk in pauldotcom and offsec. It's also interesting to observe channels for programming languages because you can learn some interesting things from the questions/answers being exchanged.

I think it's a very cool place to hang out, after all, you got: #offsec, #hackingdojo, #backtrack-linux, #exploitdb, #metasploit, #intern0t, and so forth There's a lot of very good professionals hanging out there.

I see what you did there!

It's a good channel with lots of talking going on, it's definitely not a dead channel

Most people I know use real IRC clients like XChat, mIRC and irssi, a few still use BitchX
